Is it so wrong to post my own thoughts about MMO's, corresponding to the posts above about World of Warcraft, Rift, and anything else that was talked about?

How I was I off topic again?

I rest my case.

Technically you were all kind of off-topic and so is this post that I'm making right now. You just happened to be the person that got called out on it. It's like speeding on the high-way to go with the flow of traffic and then being the unlucky person that gets pulled over. Only in this case, you're not likely to get an infraction unless you make a huge deal out of it or something.

well yeah, unless it relates to this threads topic... which is games currently on sale, on steam. if one MMO is on sale and you say its not worth it, sure, thats on topic. but the posts i saw of yours didnt seem related at all.

So are the best Steam sales always during the Christmas holidays? When are the best sales during the year?

Seems like it, but the best sale I have seen yet was last years spring sale. I seriously bought like 80 games for $200, including Metro 2033, Bioshock 1 +2, Just Cause 2, and a ton of other amazing games. I hope they bring back that sale this year.

If you noticed, the dozen posts above mine were all about MMO's.
And, Oh I don't know - Guild Wars will be sold on Steam in November?

And ummm, your reason for an unnecessary confrontation of my post?

Actually the few posts above yours were about RUSE, Prince of Persia, and DRM, my screen only shows about 5 posts at a time so the 4 above you didn't show anything about MMO's, thats why quotations like I am using are your friend, shows people you are on topic and not responding to thin air.

I have played the free version (the Nations variant) and it surely was a bunch of fun. Though because it was the free version it only had the stadium environment so the tracks became a bit boring after a while (also because the servers tend to keep the same tracks for ages, until frequent visitors get such a good lap times that it is time for a refresh in form of the upload of new community tracks). The paid version is more elaborate so it should not have that problem that much (beside different modes, also different environments which has a lot of influence on the style of the tracks), except maybe the infrequent refreshes on the servers.

i never gave it much of a look, but it was definitely a very popular game for a good year or 2...

I didn't really use Steam back then, only bought boxed games and never seen that on a shelf. Looks interesting, but with Dirt 3 and NFS:HP I don't think I need another Racing game, though I am tempted.
